Brouwerij Serafijn (prev. Microbrouwerij Achilles)

Client Brewer in Heist-op-den-Berg, Antwerp, Belgium 🇧🇪
Associated Venue: Huisbrouwerij Achilles - Out of business

Established in 1999

Description
The microbrewery is founded by Achilles Van de Moer on the passion for special beers. After 7 years of trials with different beers, the decision to start a microbrewery in Itegem was made in 1999. The brand name of beers is “Serafijn”. All beers are high fermentation brews, with second fermentation in the bottle. Most of the beers are contract brewed, but some of them are also brewed at their own location.

In 2015 Achilles became part of Caupona bvba (of the Prik & Tik stores in Heist-op-den-Berg and Herselt). The brewery is now called ''Brouwerij Serafijn.'' That is the new company in Heist that houses the Serafijn beers. The former microbrewery in Itegem has been dismantled.

The beer is now brewed at the Pirlot brewery in Zandhoven.

Bottle, 6.2%. Slow gusher. Fruity, yeasty, spicy aroma. Hazy yellow colour, sparkling with floaties. Big stable white head. High carbonation. The flavour is yeasty, slightly sweet. Some white bread notes. Also moldy and citric, not badly so, though. The alcohol is nice and present even though the ABV is not that high.

Courtesy of Quake1028. Pours deep gold to copper with off white head. The aroma is big sweet fruitiness of prunes, sugar malt sweetness, sweet tart candy and raisins. It has a light and dry taste containing mild fruity sweetness mixed with smooth fruit tartness. I get prunes, raisins, apples and plums all mixing around in there and playing together nice. Yum.
